Contemplating

Post by **BadnewsCJ** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 4:23 pm

Bump bump bump. Why? Cause I have news!

Some things I never updated....

Shock hoop/orbital mount/reservoir-filter-cooler mount/cooler mount (this needs a good bit of cleaning up still)

Dodge MC

A few problems. Namely, the steering reservoir I got leaks out the cap. It is technically "sealed"......but it seems not enough. Attempt 1 at defying Pirate rules on full hydro plumbing was a failure. Plan is to get someone to TIG weld it shut and put a bleeder in the top. I'm pretty confident that will work. Also, the nylon brake lines Will recommended to me was actually a planed sabotage, cause they don't like to seal to my brake lines. Either need to find brake lines that will work or ditch the nylon.

BUT, we got it operational enough before I moved out. Drove it around the house and onto a trailer. Had my Dad drag it home for me.

It's current resting place, the basement of a multimillion dollar fancy pants barn in a really nice area of Harford Co. MD.

I'm going to be passing through the east coast enough during the next 9 months or so, so I'm actually going to try and wrench on this thing. The bitch is that this barn is some kind of historic special barn and is getting torn down and re-located to another location on the property.

And now for the actual news. Look what I got!

32X32. Electric (no water for some reason? It's a shame cause I was considering living in the third bay.) Located in York, PA about 15 min from my office and the hotel I'll be living at for the next month.

Alec I'm going to need my bender, press, and chop saw (I think you have this?)

Now that the garage search is hopefully over, I got to find a tow rig....

That is awesome Nick

So did you buy it or rent it?

Post by **BadnewsCJ** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 10:35 pm

I'm renting it. Right now it looks like I'll be relocating to Milwaukee sometime next summer so I don't want anything long term.

And Hippie it's at 735 Susquehanna Ave (or so I think, the directions I got aren't even close to where google tells me the address is.)

Why is it moving? Let me know when you're gonna be wrenching on it. I might be able to make some time to swing by and lend a hand...or hand you tools and bring the beer lol extent of my qualifications

Awesome. Could you run water to it? Possibly set up a rainwater collection system and try to use sparingly? I bet you could do it lol like camping!

I was planning to thank Alec for letting me use his chop saw today...and Will for letting me in the shop. But I guess I should thank you for the use of your chop saw?

whatever...I'll just bring beer for everyone Saturday.
